Cherub - http://www.maritime-antiques.co.uk/44.html KDO - Knotmeter Distance Only, plastic bodied (I have one of these) IIIA - speed and distance, plastic bodied (I believe) Excelsior - http://www.westsea.com/tsg3/catlocker/cat03chart.htm Besides construction and speed capability, the other thing to be aware of is whether it is an outrigger/bayonet mount that hooks into a bracket on the taffrail (usually one on each side), or if it's a sling type that hangs off something like a stern pulpit. -Casey > -----Original Message----- > From: Mats Broberg [mailto:mats.broberg@CHELLO.SE] > Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 2:35 AM > To: NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM > Subject: Taff rail logs > > Dear listmembers, > > I'm about to buy a Walker taffrail log and have come across > various models, e.g. > > > - Walker Cherub Mk.
